I was at the dealer yesterday looking at a couple new 991's. I really like it. Even better in person and I like the panamera interior. Looks sharp. Kind of weird that you can see the engine anymore though. There is a little door where you can see the intake and oil fill, but that's it. I'll post pics later. Supposedly everything is done from underneath now.

Regarding the GT3, the GM at my dealership said GT3 is coming as next years model. And then the turbo will follow that. A little out of order compared to previous releases... Just what I heard, not what I know. I'm hoping that's true.

As far as proving it self, who cares? It'll be under warranty. .2 RS's are imploding all over the place and that hasn't hurt sales Considering the performance numbers they are getting out of the new C2S, the new GT3 should be off the charts.

dog, engine compartment is only plastic pieces, a few bolts and you can still see everything. The intake system changed a bit.
Now I like the RS more than the GT2, so unless I have the same feeling with another car, I'm keeping it.

I know, but the opening is so tiny now. like maybe 12-14 inches. It's just weird looking compared to the bonnet on our cars which exposes so much more. I really like the 991. I'm definitely getting one when the 3 comes out. No question. I love how Porsche evolves the car without completely changing it. Even if it's different, it's still clearly recognizable as a 911.

agreed, the only 911 that I didn't like the look was the narrow 996.
